Predictability Tool.

*Minimum Qualifications:* Applicants must have a PhD degree in climate,
atmospheric science, statistics, or related field. At least one year of
relevant employment experience after having been awarded a PhD is required,
as well as a strong publication record. Familiarity with multi-model
seasonal forecasting and verification, including experience with a range of
statistical methodologies relevant to application of model outputs, is
necessary. We also seek experience designing and performing experiments
